Best time to contact funded startups

A startup is most reachable and most likely to buy in the 90 days after announcing a round. During this window they are: - Deploying fresh capital against a plan investors just approved - Hiring across functions, which creates tool and service gaps - Re-evaluating their stack now that they can afford better - Under pressure to show progress before the next board meeting

Reach out too early and the deal has not closed; reach out a year later and the budget is committed. The 30 to 90 day mark is the sweet spot.

Beyond the funding date itself, layer in these signals to prioritise outreach: - New senior hires in the function you sell to (a new VP of Sales means budget for sales tools) - Open job postings, which reveal exactly what the company is scaling - Recent product launches that imply new infrastructure needs - Geographic expansion, which creates compliance, payments, and hiring needs

JustRaised lists the filing date for each recently funded company, so you can rank prospects by recency, not just fit.
